IMPROVEMENT IN 'LAMPSTFOR `HEATING VA TAILORS GOOVSE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

192,130. dated June 19, 1877; application tiled April 2, 1877.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES u REEKIE, of Martling, in the county of Newton and State of Missouri, havein vented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps'i'or Heating aTailors Goose; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

The invention consists in a lamp capable of detachable connection with a tailors goose, provided with a vapor-burner ot' peculiar construction, as hereinafter specified.

In the drawing illustrating my invention, Figure l is a longitudinal section of the lamp and goose connected. Fig. 2 is a front view of the lamp with the burnerwick tube in cross-section, showing the means upon the lamp for securing it to the goose. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the burner, and Fig. 4 a longitudinal sectionof said burner and aportion of the wick-tube.

The essential characteristic of a goose adapted to receive my invention is a hollow interior, into which the burner of the lamp may extend. Such a goose, as ordinarily constructed, has means for the attachment of the lamp. It has also two ironing or smoothing surfaces, so that while one of such surfaces is being used the other is being heated ready for use.

My lamp consists. of an oil-chamber, A, provided with a dead-air chamber, A', having openings a. at the bottom and top, to permit of the passage of air caused by expansion. The bust U' forms another air-chain ber, D, open at the sides (shownin Fig. l) to allow of the free passage of air. By this construction non conducting air chambers are interposed between the oil-chamber and the heated iron for the purpose :of retaining the oil at its ordinary temperature.

The bust is provided with bayonet-slats, as seen in Fig. 2, or other means for securing it to a goose, B. From the lower end or bottom of this chamber extends a tube, C, in which the wick a is placed.

. Detachably connected to the end of the tube C is the burner D. This burner'ismconstructed of a tube, b, the interior or bore of which is contracted at c, forming thereby a seat for a valve, d. This valve d may be continuous of a screw, z'. The said screw has a head, k, for adjusting it inthe threaded portion b' of the tube b, which adjustment locates the valve d with reference to its seat c, thereby regulating the size of the opening in the tube. j

A vertical slit, e, is made in the upper wall oi'the tube b, centrally of a core, j, that rises from the said tube. A number of airinlets, g, are made in this core, and it is sur- 'mounted by a tlame-deector, k.

I do not confine the application of my lamp to a tailors goose, for it may be used. also with any self-heatin g sad-iron.

The operation is as follows Sufficient heat being obtained to vaporize the duid-as, for instance, gasolinethegas issues from the slit e into the core f, where the air-inlets are located, and Where the gas is ignited, and, rising therein, Iinds an exit beneath the deector, which latter serves to diii'use it horizontally, and thereby distribute the heat throughout the iron or goose.

acts very much like a blow-pipe, and producesan intense and quick heat.

` The quantity of vapor allowed to escape is regulated by adjusting the valve d in its seat so as to govern the size of the opening in the tube b.

By this construction a cheap oil or other inexpensive -iiuid may be substituted for alcohol, and better results obtained.

l. The combination of the'oil-chamber A, air-chambers A and D', tube C, adjustable valve and burner,rwith a tailors goose, all constructed, arranged, and operating as shown and described. y

2. The tube b, adjustable valve d, slit e, and'core f, incombinatiou with a deiiector, h, substantially as shown and described. j

In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as my own, Iafx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
